About me

I have lived in Japan for 37 years and currently live with my husband and 5 cats. My two children are living and working in the States. I have been a quilter for over 20 years but I am semi-retired and teach English occasionally. I love the Bible and Jesus and try to serve as I can to His glory

Quilting profile

I'm a self-taught quilter who for the past 20 years has progressed through trial and error mostly using Japanese books. I belong to a small group of quilters and we yearly make a bazaar quilt but on my own I dabble in hand piecing and strip piecing and hand quilting. Since joining the blogging world I've enjoyed Wonky piecing and am trying to get a handle on machine quilting using a domestic machine.

Sunday afternoon

Well, got quite a lot done yesterday. Finished Leiya's muffler. It is definitely long! I think she'll like it.Next project was the letters quilt which I didn't have any idea what I wanted to do anyway and though I got the words together to make "Leiya's place" it doesn't really do anything. Not really a placemat (about that size) could become a pillow I suppose...It needs more color but do I want to do anymore? I made up the words for "Takumi's place" too but that isn't in one piece yet. I practiced making wonky hearts which was a bit more difficult than I had expected but I suppose if I practiced a bit I might get it right. Do I want to continue this for the Dennis's and Kiana and Colin? Not sure... I think I'll work on Tetsu's sweater today.
